Angel Li, G10B, RDF International School 瑞得福國際學校G10B 李子萱 If I could have a chance to get back to the year when I was in primary school, that would be awesome. I would try to become friends with myself and help myself with a lot of things that I was not able to do and wanted to give up on. The time machine is so fast. It only takes a few seconds to get back to seven years earlier. I chose to go to the same school with myself. I found myself — the original me — very quickly, and I started to say, “Hey, I’m Angel, what’s your name?” Then my younger self said, “Wow, that’s amazing, I’m also named Angel. We should become friends.” So we became best friends. Sure enough, the original me was so lazy at that time: I got up late, studied less, and didn’t communicate with teachers. But now I am so good at studying and making friends, and I even have lots of hobbies. So I have become more outstanding than the original me. At first I helped her with her studies. I helped her solve the problems she had and helped her with some difficult information that she didn’t understand after the teacher had talked about it in class. After a while, I could really feel that she had improved a lot. Then I helped her with her hobbies. She chose to learn the guitar, but after practicing for a few days, she said that was too hard for her. I stopped her from giving up, so that she tried much harder than before. Actually she had a lot of potential and she just didn’t use it very well. Now it’s time to go back to the “real” me. The machine took me back to the present and I had a feeling that I didn’t have. I felt like I gained many abilities I didn’t have. I think I’m not far away from my goal anymore. |
